Description
Side view of two booms, large double masted dhows (sailboats) built in Kuwait, moored along the shore of Bahrain Island. In the foreground a boom sits in calm water rippled by gentle waves below a cloudless sky. A boat is moored along the side of the boom, while further along a small rowboat is tied alongside the stern. In the right background a second boom is moored further from shore.
